Abstract

The study was about improving the efficiency of area2 of K&K Molding, Inc. in order to save money in the production of plastic parts. It was observed that their efficiency for the last five months of production is below the target of 90%. It was discovered, based from the date of the company that the major causes of the low efficiency are Ibutsu, Overcut, FOR and defect rework. The root causes of these factors are then identified in order to make sound recommendations for the improvements of the area. After the identification, the root causes were grouped and were attempted to be solved by proposing different alternatives. The alternatives were then evaluated and the savings that can be obtained from them are computed. The winning alternatives are Alternative B, and Alternative C, and Alternative E. Alternative A redesigns the process and workstation and also, it integrates the inspection in the rework procedure. On the other hand, Alternative C makes use of visual aids to help the operators eliminate the occurrence of defects. Lastly, Alternative E involve re-sharpening the cutters to just one-sided to help prevent the occurrence of overcut defects. The proposed alternatives are then evaluated its impact in the company in monetary terms. It was computed that upon the implementation of the alternatives, the company can save Php6,350,733.76. Also their efficiency will increase to 94.94% which is already above their target of 90%.
